I&#39;m a people-pleaser, so I generally want to give them what they want. But nobody grows in those scenarios. <br /><br />I love your ideas about helping teachers network with others. Schools should be places where everybody grows, not just the little people. Stress can make that difficult, however.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11910064436724635007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023325297448617578.post-86860653926889212872016-08-30T05:09:41.098-07:002016-08-30T05:09:41.098-07:00If questioning was that fun everyone would do it H...If questioning was that fun everyone would do it Heather - thanks for the laughs on that video!<br /><br />Usually the approach of questioning is the opposite of what a teacher is seeking. Teachers often ask a question of a perceived authority hoping for the &quot;right,&quot; or at least efficient, answer. For me it is a challenge to not share MY answer to THEIR question; I know though that my answer would work in my classroom, but they really do want their own answer to work within their teaching style and classroom. So internally I slow down my desire to solve, and while I do my best to question also, I try to network them with peers versus perceived authorities. For instance I might mention that another whatever grade/subject teacher in another county school is facing the same challenge/question. I try to empower teachers to collaborate with each other because I only have one teacher&#39;s opinion anyway - and I will learn from the solution other practicing teachers generate ultimately as well.<br /><br />Thank you for the thought provoking post.pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09084245656873833178noreply@blogger.com
